Ludicrous…but best tribute to the King there could possibly be.

Spring looking great now around the gardens

Wisteria out now. Wedding open day tomorrow.

One thing to get the chefs happy is a new piece of kit. New rational oven today. Is always fascinating watching something cook in a new oven #boringTweet

Lights up for our weddings after all the new work. Very proud looking out of the house windows tonight. Quick wisteria shot too.

We are having our Sunday lunch here too this weekend. In the garden it is very family friendly.

Somethings are too cute

Hope someone can help here!

Lovely evening here

Here's our new garden menu video. We think the garden is looking so healthy! Food is of course the main thing you are supposed to look at....us gardening team would disagree...

Alert ato other hospitality businesses to dodgy dealings going on with Adexa Direct. We have just been charged for equipment we didn't order, their website failed and they took payment without the payment authorisation. We're of course going through the bank for fraud but beware.

Christina is a Burnham girl and only a short drive from here. We often point guests towards a visit in Burnham-on-Crouch.

There we go! Great to see it up and looking fabulous!

Back of the moat tonight, after all the rain it’s come nice!

New signs at the hall!

We are also on TikTok although mainly the more silky content but just just in case you are interested…. tiktok.com/@downhamhalles…

‘If VAT is dropped will you drop your prices.’ A fair question but let me try to briefly explain why this may not be the case. A short thread on why hospitality are asking for a cut to VAT… 1/5

It was a pleasure and such a great initiative. Happy to support again next year if you do it!

Now some are saying certain team members need to lose weight. The team member in question says that the back of the boat is just leaking and taking on water. At least the reeds are now tidy in the moat.

A fresh look for WiB this morning. So we have 30 baskets sponsored, but more available. £120 to sponsor, you'll get a dedicated basket with signage, social media acknowledgement and details of all sponsors shared in Wickford news magazine. #wickfordinbloom 🌹 @Wickford_News
